S.T.Art Life is a creative space for content creators and their clients, where photographers and videographers can advertise and sell their work, and find clients interested in their services.
S.T.Art Life is an excellent alternative for outdated and uninteresting file hosting services. It allows each creator to create their own online gallery with an individual presentation, thanks to which every minute spent on the portal turns into a unique user experience for both the specialists themselves and their clients.
DEVELOPMENT STAGES
WHAT TASKS DID OUR TEAM FACE?
To implement a comfortable and intuitive web platform with two types of personal accounts: creators and clients.
Create tools for individual customization of virtual galleries for creators so that users without programming skills could easily customize the presentation of their work.
Add integration of the creator's profile with social media for convenient content import and tracking the success of each work.
Develop a panel for easy administration of the S.T.Art Life service.
HOW DID THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS GO?
For the technical implementation of the S.T.Art Life platform, we formed a dedicated team consisting of specialists from various fields: designers, architects, frontend and backend developers, QA engineers, and project managers. The development process consisted of six consecutive stages:
Information gathering. Studied the nearest competitors, their strengths and weaknesses, and then developed a unique concept for the future service.
Design. Created a unique UI design for the platform.
-
Programming. We implemented the server-side and client-side components of S.T.Art Life at the code level and performed all necessary integrations with external services and social networks.
-
Adaptability work. Special attention was paid to developing the adaptability of the platform to ensure it displays and functions correctly on different devices. This is important because the majority of S.T.Art Life's target audience prefers to work with smartphones.
-
Quality assurance (QA). We created and configured a dedicated testing environment where our QA engineers verified the correctness of the platform's functions, performance, security, fault tolerance, and its ability to withstand high loads. After addressing any issues and obtaining positive results, we deployed the product on a public server.
WHAT TECHNOLOGIES DID WE USE?
For the development of the S.T.Art Life platform, we used a proven and reliable technological stack:
the PHP framework Laravel for the server-side,
as well as the Vue.js and Nuxt.js libraries for the client-side.
The combination of these technologies allowed us to achieve high security, performance, and fast page loading speeds, which is crucial since the service stores and provides access to a vast amount of high-resolution content.
FUNCTIONALITY OF S.T.ART LIFE
Behind the external simplicity and conciseness of the S.T.Art Life platform lies a wide range of functional capabilities for all types of users. We'll detail the main ones below.
Two Types of Personal Accounts
During the registration of a new account on the S.T.Art Life platform, the visitor must specify the desired type of personal account — regular user or creator. Depending on this choice, the functionality of the profile will differ significantly.
Regular users have the ability to browse the catalog of photographers and videographers, customize listings according to individual needs, purchase content, and order services from creators.
The creator's personal profile has a broader set of capabilities:
Content uploading.
Management of the online gallery.
Editing personal data: specialization, service pricing, language of communication.
Profile customization, including content organization in the gallery, adding a subdomain, adjusting color schemes, and other parameters.
Setting up free advertising within the S.T.Art Life platform.
Access restriction to content.
Users are not limited to just one personal account and can easily register and link two types of profiles for convenience. Switching between accounts in this case is done in just a few clicks.
FINANCIAL OPERATIONS
Integration of payment systems and bank APIs allows users to make payments quickly and securely within the system: paying for subscription plans and purchasing creators' content. The history of financial transactions can always be viewed in the corresponding section of the user's account.
SOCIAL MEDIA INTEGRATION
Creators can import their work into the S.T.Art Life gallery directly from their Instagram page. Social reactions, including likes from users on social media, will also be displayed on the platform, making tracking the effectiveness of work even simpler and more convenient.
ADMIN PANEL
The administration of the S.T.Art Life platform is carried out using a convenient admin panel that we have developed and implemented according to the individual needs of the client. It includes a variety of modules: tracking user actions, managing content and subscription plans, setting up mailings, collecting analytical data, and many other features that help the client effectively manage their business and track its performance.
RESULTS OF S.T.ART LIFE
The AVADA MEDIA team designed and developed S.T.Art Life—an aesthetic space for creators and those seeking specialists in the field of photo and video shooting. The flexibility and functionality of the platform already meet most of the needs of the target audience, which has propelled its rapid entry into the market and its swift rise in popularity among users.
Today, we continue to work on the development of S.T.Art Life and provide comprehensive technical support to ensure the achievement of the client's business plans.
